Legislation

As bills are introduced before the Manitoba Legislature, they are made available on the Legislative Assembly website. The full text of each bill, plus its status before the Legislature, can be accessed from this website. The website also lists information about legislative committees, including how to make a presentation, and notice of upcoming meetings.

Bills that are currently before the legislature, or which were recently passed, along with brief descriptions of each can be found on this page. You can find government news releases relating to many of these bills under News From Broadway.
